Voyage of the Stars

While Zhao Youqin was busy, everyone was staring nervously.

Yue Yuan also walked around the bridge uneasily. He was really worried. Although it has not been determined yet, everyone here can generally tell that this strange signal was most likely sent by a certain civilization.

"I hope it's a signal from the distant universe." Yue Yuanxin said.

The further away, the better. Now Yue Yuan really doesn't want to encounter any extraterrestrial civilization, nor anything related to extraterrestrial civilization.

Humanity is too weak. Even if it encounters a civilization at random, it is likely to be annihilated. After all, a civilization that can span the stars is definitely not something that humans can handle.

Even though humans have traveled 9.4 light-years to get here, they actually rely on hibernation technology instead of navigation technology. A normally developing civilization would never engage in interstellar navigation at this stage of humankind.

With humanity's current navigation technology, the most appropriate place to stay is its own home galaxy, rather than traveling to other galaxies. Therefore, if you encounter other civilizations in the universe, the level of this civilization will definitely be higher than that of humans.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, the automatic door of the bridge was opened, and then Long Xiaolin walked in with Lu Xiaofen and Talya Sinskaya.

"Chief, the two doctors are here." Long Xiaolin walked up to Yue Yuan and said softly.

"good."

Yue Yuan nodded, looked at the two people behind Long Xiaolin, and then pointed to the console not far to his left: "Two doctors, I will not say any polite words, the unknown signal information is stored there. Come on, go and see for yourselves."

"Director Yue, if you want to decipher this kind of information, we can't do it alone." Before she went over to take a look, Thalia said in a smooth Chinese.

"I know that Zhao Youqin will work with you, and experts in other languages ​​and cryptography fields will be here soon. You don't need to worry about manpower. If you need any resources to support you, please tell Zhao Youqin directly."

After hearing Yue Yuan's words, Thalia, a big Yangma, said nothing and ran directly to the console and entered working mode.

As for Lu Xiaofen, she turned and walked to the other side. She was a linguist, but her work had to wait until signal processing experts converted the unknown signals into visible graphs.

At this stage, she couldn't be of much help.

At this moment, Zhao Youqin suddenly shouted: "Found it!"

Hearing this, Yue Yuan was shocked and immediately walked behind Zhao Youqin and looked at the screen. Manyuemei and Zhu Pite, who had just come in from the door, also approached.

At this time, Zhao Youqin had transformed the string-like signal into a visible image, to be precise, a starry sky map, so everyone could understand it.

But just because they could understand it, everyone was stunned. Even Zhao Youqin himself, who continuously enlarged the images, was stunned.

Yue Yuan first felt that the stars in the image looked familiar. As Zhao Youqin continued to enlarge the image, he felt more familiar.

When he saw Zhao Youqin using an arrow on the screen to indicate the location of the signal source, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Then Yue Yuan felt a cold air emerging from the soles of his feet, and then swept upwards towards his consciousness in an instant. The hair on his whole body suddenly stood up, and his back felt cold.

The same goes for others. Scientists such as Zhao Youqin, Zhu Pite, Manyuemei, Liu Miyan, etc. all looked at the screen with wide eyes, fear in their eyes.

"That's not a mistake?"

Yue Yuan took a deep breath to calm down, then looked at Zhao Youqin reluctantly, hoping that his answer was wrong.

Zhao Youqin turned to look at the planet he marked on the screen, looking at the several half-arc circles inside that represented signal symbols, and shook his head with difficulty.

Then, with a glimmer of despair, he entered various parameters again and asked "Light of the Galaxy" to recalculate it.

But when the screen changed to an image again, the result was still the familiar planet.

bump!

The grumpy Liu Miyan punched the workbench and said in a voice hoarse due to nervousness: "How could this happen? Is Silver Mist conscious? After so many years, I thought it was quiet, but this horse-riding thing is still alive. The ghost is still there. It shouldn’t be, it doesn’t make sense! It doesn’t make sense, if Silver Mist can send messages, why has it not moved for so many years?”

Planet Ross 154-4, this is the location of the signal source indicated on the screen.

When people see this planet now, they will think of the terrifying 'silver mist', but the signal source is emitted from this planet, which makes people think of it.

But as Liu Miyan said, none of this makes sense.

If Yinwu had this ability, there was no reason to send the message now after seven years had passed. And it's still broadcast-like information, almost every thirty minutes.

Why exactly?

If the signal comes from the distant starry sky, then everyone would take it for granted. After all, something like a civilization sending a cosmic broadcast conflicts with the cosmic background speculated by human experience, but it is also possible.

People can accept that too.

Even when the location of the signal source was not determined, Yue Yuan briefly imagined the background of the universe. If the signal really came from the depths of the universe, the civilizations of the universe might not be in a hostile state in the dark forest as humans thought.

Yes, the sociologists on board the Hope have already made some guesses about the background of the universe based on mankind's own experiences. Generally speaking, they speculate that it is a dark universe. But if there are cosmic broadcasts or interstellar broadcasts, it means that the universe is not completely dark, and there is communication between civilizations.

In fact, humans are also inclined to this view, but there is no evidence.

Now there is such an unknown signal similar to a broadcast. Yue Yuan thought that humans could take a peek at the cosmic society, but it happened to come from Ross 154-4, which is a planet with such terrifying things as "Silver Mist". , how can it not send chills down the spine.

He said that this signal had nothing to do with the 'Silver Mist', but no one on the bridge believed him.

"What's Silver Mist's current state?" Yue Yuan asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, staff on the bridge immediately transferred the satellite image to the big screen. In the past seven years, humans have never relaxed their observation of the ‘silver mist’.

"They are not moving?!" Manyuemei frowned when she saw the display on the screen and fell into deep thought.

"This is strange. Could it be that the signal has nothing to do with the 'Silver Mist'?" Liu Miyan also looked at the big screen, only to find that the Silver Mist was still the same as seven years ago, lying motionless on the surface of the planet, as if it had fallen into dormancy. .

Seeing this scene, everyone felt relieved a lot.

What humans feared most did not happen, the silver mist did not move, and there was no sign of flying out of Ross 154-4.

"There is too little information now to deduce any useful information, so the top priority is to decipher this information." Yue Yuan said slowly while looking at the silver mist on the big screen that was equivalent to a province.
